This paper investigates the contribution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to environmental innovation. Leveraging a novel dataset of USPTO patent applications from 1980 to 2019, it explores the domain of Green Intelligence (GI), defined as the application of AI algorithms to green technologies....

Our analysis of over 500 Ghanaian firms sheds light, for the first time, on how certain firms managed to extract value from mobile money. Our regressions point to the usefulness of this form of cashless payments in stabilizing sales during the COVID pandemic. Perhaps the most important message...

Die einfache Bedienung und die vielseitigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten generativer Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) bergen das Potenzial, verschiedene Aufgaben zu automatisieren und somit die Arbeitswelt grundlegend zu verändern. Vor allem freiberufliche Tätigkeiten im Digitalbereich, die durch...
